Dede was sent to the hospital and was attended to. Her broken leg was bandaged and the bruises on her wrist were treated. "How is she?" Bryson asked the doctor."Aside from the bruises on her wrist sustained from her moving her tied-up hand forward and her broken ankle resulting from the fall, she appears to be okay," the doctor replied."Can I take her home?" Bryson asked."Yes, after we get her some clothes," the doctor said reminding Bryson she was brought in with clothes."Sure," Bryson acknowledged and headed for Dede's ward while another guard per his order went to get clothes for Dede. He walked into the ward to find Dede sitting on the bed in a blue hospital gown. He drew closer to the bed and hugged her. "Glad you are okay," Bryson said pulling away from the hug."Was it Mr Jackson?" Dede asked staring at Bryson."No, it was some woman but don't worry your head about that. What matters most is you are safe," Bryson said and kissed the side of her temple. "I am going to do
Back at the station, even though Julia was dead, Bryson was not convinced Julia was the one behind the kidnapping. He still believes it was Melissa but now the one to confirm that is gone. He was only left with evidence that says Julia had an ulterior motive."You said Julia and Dede came to this state together from your records. You also said they are friends from the information you gathered about the two from social media. So why will Julia want to harm Dede?" Bryson asked."Well, even though they are friends, Dede had an attitude that didn't sit well with Julia. The day they arrive in this country, Julia throws Dede out on the street because she tries to seduce her boyfriend and when she is caught, she plays the victim. From the servants, who heard the heated argument between the two, the girl Dede, was found in Julia's boyfriend's room in the middle of the night. Her room was downstairs and the man's room was upstairs. When Julia caught her, she claimed she didn't know how she go
At Bryson's parent's home, Dede was sitting on the balcony of Bryson's bedroom admiring her new environment. She did a quick reflection of her life. A lot has happened growing up. She had to deal with so many sexual harrassament from men back in her birth country all because she was born different. Since when did being different become a crime. She felt she would have been happy with Bryson but again because of her different she was, it was now trouble after the other. The thought brought tears to her eyes as she stared at the beautiful city lying ahead of her. In the living room, Melissa strode in with her bag and was heartily welcomed by Janet. "I didn't know you were coming but good you are came," Janet said after greeting Meilssa with a hug. "My son brought that gold digger here," she whispered into Melissa's ears. "He did?" Melissa acted surprised. "But don't worry, now that you are here. I have a plan to make the girl go away herself," Janet said and walked Melissa to the ba
After an exchange of pleasantries, they dished out the food and started eating. "Feels like old times," Janet began. "Having the whole family together. Sigh, but alas, the devil is never happy when people are happy," she chipped and Bryson stared at her with a frown. He knew exactly what she was doing, and that was to make Dede feel unwelcomed on the table but he smiled when an idea of a response came to mind. "Yeah, it was good old times until the angel we knew turned out to be Lucifer himself," Bryson retorted with a smirk and Melissa gasped. "Did he just describe her as a devil?" was the question in Melissa's eyes as he stared at Bryson. "Really," Janet scuffed. "last I check home wreckers are not angels," she submitted rolling her eyes and Bryson clenched his fist. "That is enough conversations around folktales," Jacob intervened. "So how is the company doing? Anything interesting?" he asked directing his question to Bryson. "It is all good. Everything is in place and we
Melissa seized the opportunity and quickly got out of bed grabbing the blankets with her as she coughed violently. Bryson did not see Dede. He figured his father had used that to get him to leave Melissa. He was still fuming with anger and his parents tried to stop him from getting to Melissa. Melissa knew it was time to leave. She hurried out of the room using Jacob and Janet as shields. "Melissa, I will not forgive you for this," Bryson yelled after her. He stormed out of the room walking out on his parents who kept calling him. He went straight to his room and found Dede collied up in bed. He calmed himself hoping she didn't know about him and Melissa. "Are you sleeping?" he asked in a calm voice and Dede remained silent with her eyes wide open soaking the pillow with her tears.Bryson drew closer to the bed to see her face and he knew from her demeanour she already knew about him and Melissa. He shut his eyes briefly massaging in between his brow."I am sorry, I am not sure wha
"It is not too late, Dede. I promise to love and protect you. Ask him for a divorce and come with me," Alex suggested and Dede's eyes widened. "Since the day I felt hurt and couldn't look after you any more, how well did Mr Adams protect you?" Alex asked and Dede searched her memory.She did realise that even though, Bryson gave the command and seemed to be on top, everything was executed by Alex. And when she is Alex were close, she didn't run into many troubles like this. "I love you him," Dede said in resignation. "So you will sacrifice yourself for that?" Alex asked with a frown. "Come with me. Let's chat outside in the car," he requested scanning the environment as if searching for eavesdroppers. Dede looked around too before leaving the living room and heading for the main exit with Alex. Outside, Alex led her to his parked ride. He opened the back seat door for her and she entered. Alex went round the car and sat behind the wheel. "Where are we going?" Dede asked seeing Ale
Alex took advantage of her confusion and went further to explore her body but Dede snapped out of the moment. "No, Alex. I am married and this is not right. I promise Mr Adams, for better and for worse. He loves me as I do him and I believe that is all we need to weather the storm," she said pushing Alex off her. "Really? Dede, you will choose a life of misery over a peaceful one?" Alex snapped, his voice barely a whisper and his gaze very seductive as he stared at her. "Alex, you were like a big brother to me and I never had any feelings for you. My heart went to Mr Adams and I couldn't do anything about it," Dede said helplessly as thoughts of Bryson crowded her mind. "Why, because he has money," Alex said sounding furious. "No, it has nothing to do with money. I don't know why and how but when I see him, I feel different and being with him, I knew I wanted to be with him," Dede explained. "You allowed me pleasure you right now. How about that?" Alex asked furious she didn't
"Gosh, you drive me insane," he said pulling her by the waist and pressing her against himself as he dropped kisses on her while Dede did everything to avoid him kissing her lips again."Alex," Dede called out his name."Yeah, babe. Say my name," Alex said kissing her neck.Dede felt disgusted by what he was doing but with the videos he had shown her, proving he is indeed watching them, she was scared of what Alex will do to Bryson if she doesn't scum to his demands. Her hand was on his chest as he held her by the waist drawing her closer to him while Dede pushed against his chest feeling unhappy about what he was doing."Alex, I can't do it today," Dede said. "Why," Alex paused and asked staring at her face while holding her in his arms."My, I, flo just came," Dede said."I don't give a fuck about any flo or whoever that is," Alex snapped at her his brow drawing together. "I mean, my monthly flow," she said averting her gaze."Oh, I see," Alex said releasing her from his grip. "I
